Vendor sent me the wrong exhaust
Haven't had a chance to work with them on this, but I ordered the Berk muffler delete and got the street version instead. Had the exhaust shipped straight to the shop, and had it mounted before I saw it. When I drove my car, I thought it sounded great, but not quite as loud as I was expecting.
Real bummer is, I already paid to have it installed... I'm not entirely unhappy, I mean, I saved about $150 on the exhaust. But I was really wanting the weight reduction from the muffler delete. Anyone know how much more the street weights over the race version? Gonna call the vendor next week to see what we can work out. |

I think I might take your suggestion. I'm really kind of torn. I like the exhaust, and got a great deal on it, but I really wanted that weight savings. Thanks for the info! |

The difference between the two is 5 pounds. Stock axleback is ~36 lbs, berk race exhaust is like 20 pounds, and street exhaust is about 25 pounds
If you throw some midpipes on, the sound will definitely get deeper and louder. I had the muffler delete and it was ALWAYS loud. Now I have the midpipes and race axleback and at full throttle it's as loud as the muffler delete. With a light foot it's quieter than the muffler delete by a bit, but still sounds throatier. Maybe Berk will cut you a deal on the midpipes since they shipped you the wrong exhaust and put you through the installation trouble?

Curious, are the midpipes mostly for sound or does dropping the second cat give a noticeable performance gain? I mean, I know cats generally reduce airflow, but would it register on the butt dyno swapping out the OEM for the Berk piece? |
